Is Standing for Elders Shirk? Wahhabi Distortions of Ibn Taymiyya

Have you ever stood out of respect for an elder? If so, you may have committed shirk according to Ibn Taymiyya (rahimahullah).

Israel, Nigeria and Manufacturing an African “Clash of Civilizations”

In recent years, Zionist-aligned media ecosystems have discovered a sudden and rather unexpected moral passion: the fate of Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa. Populations that were long treated as marginal, abstract, or altogether invisible in Western strategic discourse are now being thrust into the spotlight – but just so they can be instrumentalized against Muslims. Black […]

Two Futures Modern Parents Are Deliberately Engineering for Their Daughters

Non-Muslim western parents who fall into the modern, non-traditional camp, usually do one of two things to their daughters: 1. Either they sexualize their daughters, Or 2. They masculinize their daughters. Sexualizing daughters comes most often in the form of clothing and inappropriate “sports.” It looks like a five-year-old girl wearing pants that say “juicy” […]

AI: Bizarre Nationwide UAE Government Propaganda Khutbah

One of the grave realities about the UAE is that it keeps coming up with new ways to distort Islam and make it into being pro-Israel, pro-genocide, and pro-evil. The latest of these efforts arrives in the form of a nationwide government-produced Friday khutbah (sermon) that is essentially an AI glaze-fest. UAE Friday Khutbahs Are […]

Mufti Shamail vs Javed Akhtar: The Limits of Atheism

For audiences in South Asia, it would have been very difficult to miss the widely circulated public debate between Mufti Shamail Nadwi and Javed Akhtar. There have, of course, been some naysayers and haters – like the Wahhabis, the deformist deviant Akram Nadwi publicly whining about the debate and debating in general, and, more recently, rabid […]

Why the MAGA Base Is Triggered by Somalis

Islam, as it is practiced around the world, claims a universal mission. One of the manifestations of this universality is the inclusion of people from widely diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Among these, African societies have played a particularly important role; and within this broad category, the Somali people stand out for their historical, […]

The Price Families Are Paying for Cultural Dogma

Bangladesh is a country that boasts one of the largest Muslim populations in the world, estimated at over 150 million people. Over 90% of the country’s population are Muslim. Recently, Bangladesh has once again found itself entering a phase of acute political instability. The immediate trigger for this renewed unrest was the assassination of Sharif […]

Christian Zionists and Their Polytheistic Pedophilic Incestual Gang-Rape Theology

For a long time now, Judeo-Christian Zionists have been hurling vile attacks against Islam, the Prophet ï·º, and Muslims. Many of the popular apologists who engage in these attacks are financed by Israel to spread anti-Islam propaganda and to establish Christian hatred against Muslims. This attack almost exclusively centers around the tired old argument of […]

The Ummah’s Alarming Retreat Away from Political Islam and into Nationalism

During the past two decades of the War on Terror, the US and Israel have targeted Islamic social and political institutions throughout the Middle East with destabilization and repression, treating them not merely as security challenges but as civilizational threats. In the past twenty years, we have seen religious institutions, mosques, educational networks, and Islamist […]

Feminism and Christian Double-Standards: Incarnation “Divine Incestuous Rape”?

For generations now, Christian apologists have wielded a curiously selective form of ethical critique against the person of the Prophet Muhammad ï·º. Their polemics are saturated with sexualized language, zealously targeting his marriage to ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) through a distinctly modern, liberal-feminist lens. Their central charges revolve around the anachronistically applied concepts […]

The Millionaire Who Missed Motherhood: One Woman’s Late-Life Regret

From Iron to Plastic: Revelation, Civilization, and the Modern Material Crisis

For Muslims, the Qur’an is not merely a sacred text. It is the final revelation from Allah, His speech (kalam) conveyed to humanity. The earliest Muslim community understood this ontological status of the Qur’an, and they therefore took extraordinary measures to preserve its integrity. Unlike the transmission of earlier scriptures – such as the New […]

The Jesus of the Bible vs. the Qur’an: A Comparative Analysis

The title of this article may appear to some as being somewhat provocative, since it could be understood to suggest that Jesus (peace be upon him) can be divided into multiple “distinct figures.” Yet this is precisely how some Christian interlocutors present it. They claim that the Christian understanding of Jesus, both in terms of […]

Grand Egyptian Museum: Reviving Idolatry

We recently covered a satanic concert that took place in Egypt right in front of the pyramids. We had discussed how this was part of an effort to revive shirk (polytheism/idolatry) in these Muslim lands where it had been eradicated long ago. Well, it seems there has been yet another recent effort to promote shirk […]

The Silent Curriculum: How Kids Learn from Everyday Behavior

Parents, know that your children are always, always watching you intently. Children observe your behavior so much that they learn very early on to anticipate what you’re going to say before you say it and what you’re going to do before you do it. They have you memorized. My children have taught me this. Countless […]

Rather than identifying secular liberalism or the decline of Christian practice as the primary challenge to Western civilisation, he has instead […]

High IQ, Low Wisdom: The Christian Liberal Road to Degenerate Dystopias

There are many brazenly hypocritical groups that exist today. One of the foremost among them are Christians who attack Islam. This group claims to be pro-conservatism, pro-traditionalism, and pro-religion, yet the main target of their obsessive, relentless attacks is Islam, the most traditional religion on the planet, whose followers are the most devoutly religious and […]

Al-Zutt and Sexual Depravity Ingrained in the Judeo-Christian Subconscious

In recent years, many Christians who engage in online polemics have significantly diverted their attention away from offering a substantive cultural response to secular liberalism. This is despite it having contributed greatly to the de-Christianization of the West. Instead, they’re more focused on producing memes attacking Muslims. A recurring example involves a hadith in Musnad […]
